Nine out of ten Americans who have read these and other shock-slogans of fund-raising campaigns have felt the desired shiver. The tenth, who did not, was Albert Deutsch. Mr. Deutsch, who writes a medical and social welfare column in the New York Star, finally felt annoyed. Wrote Deutsch last week: "When the whole grim truth is told, one out of every one of us dies. Period. I am disturbed by the sustained note of terror in the slogans constantly tossed at us by worthy health organizations in efforts to pry loose . . . enough dollars to fight effectively some particular...
...Deutsch's column was read by people involved in fundraising. Said one: "Hmmm. We can't keep on killing people forever." It is likely that some changes will be made. For Columnist Deutsch, who never studied medicine, is nevertheless a power in U.S. medical journalism.

The common cold, says Dr. Knight, has about the same incidence as homosexuality in Kinsey's findings (that 37% of all U.S. males have some homosexual experience). But the prevalence of colds, says Dr. Knight, does not make them "normal...
